They didn't storm beaches. They didn't carry rifles. But they changed the world.Code, Steel, and Fire: The Hidden Engineers Who Rewired World War II is a gripping, cinematic work of historical nonfiction that finally tells the forgotten story of the men and women who fought a very different kind of war-one of intellect, invention, and innovation. In the shadowy corners of wartime bunkers, foggy shipyards, secret labs, and makeshift command centers, a hidden army of engineers, codebreakers, shipbuilders, and scientists laid the foundations for victory in World War II. While soldiers bled on the battlefield, these unsung heroes battled equations, metal, and time itself-rewriting history in silence. This is the war behind the war. From the brilliance of Bletchley Park's cryptanalysts cracking the Enigma code, to the precision engineering of the Mulberry Harbours that enabled D-Day's success... From the frantic construction of Liberty Ships across American shipyards to the atomic intensity of the Manhattan Project-this is a sweeping epic of machines, minds, and the madness of war. ✔ For fans of bestselling World War II books like Band of Brothers, The Code Book, The Imitation Game, Hidden Figures, and Into the Raging Sea, this is the next masterpiece of historical narrative you've been waiting for.
